Dot matrixes are commonly used in printing and other graphic applications. They are made up of a series of small dots that can be combined to form characters, symbols, and images. In Photoshop, you can create a dot matrix by using the Pen tool to draw a series of dots, or by using the Brush tool to paint dots onto the canvas.
When using the Pen tool, you will need to set the Fill color to black and the Stroke color to white. Then, use the Pen tool to click and drag on the canvas to create a series of dots.
To connect the dots, hold down the Shift key while clicking and dragging. The dots will be connected with straight lines.
If you want to create a more organic dot matrix, you can use the Brush tool. Set the Fill color to black and select a soft-edged brush from the Brush drop-down menu.
Then, click and drag on the canvas to paint dots onto it. The brushstrokes will automatically be smoothed out, creating a more natural look.
Once you have created your dot matrix, you can experiment with different colors and opacities to get the desired effect. You can also use layer styles such as stroke, inner glow, and outer glow to add more interest to your image.
A dot matrix is a great way to add texture and interest to your images in Photoshop. By using the Pen or Brush tool, you can easily create one that is unique and eye-catching.
